Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Marinara sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and set aside.
Place a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to gently pound it to 1/4-inch thickness. Repeat for all chicken breasts.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Spread 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto one side of each flattened chicken breast.
Carefully roll each chicken breast tightly, starting from the narrow end, and secure the seam with a toothpick if needed.
Prepare a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Dip each chicken rollup first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumbs, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken rollups and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove toothpicks, if used, before serving. Serve the chicken rollups plain or with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
